Anden Kongebog 9
1 Da kaldte Profeten Elisa ad en af Profeternes Børn, og han sagde til ham: Bind om dine Lænder og tag denne Oliekrukke i din Haand og gak til Ramoth i Gilead!
And Elisaie the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets, and said to him, Gird up your loins, and take this cruse of oil in your hand, and go to Remmoth Galaad.
2 Og naar du kommer derhen, da se dig om efter Jehu, en Søn af Josafat, Nimsis Søn, og gak ind og lad ham staa op midt iblandt sine Brødre og led ham fra et Kammer til et andet;
And you shall enter there, and shall see there Ju the son of Josaphat son of Namessi, and shall go in and make him rise up from amongst his brethren, and shall bring him into a secret chamber.
3 og tag Oliekrukken og øs paa hans Hoved og sig: Saa sagde Herren: Jeg har salvet dig til Konge over Israel; og du skal oplade Døren og fly og ikke bie.
And you shall take the cruse of oil, and pour [it] on his head, and say you, Thus says the Lord, I have anointed you king over Israel: and you shall open the door, and flee, and not wait.
4 Og Drengen, Profetens Dreng, gik til Ramoth i Gilead.
And the young man the prophet went to Remmoth Galaad.
5 Og der han kom derhen, se, da sade Høvedsmændene over Hæren der, og han sagde: Jeg har et Ord til dig, Høvedsmand! Og Jehu sagde: Til hvem iblandt os alle? og han sagde: Til dig, Høvedsmand!
And he went in, and, behold, the captains of the host were sitting; and he said, I have a message to you, O captain. And Ju said, To which of all us? And he said, To you, O captain.
6 Da stod han op og gik ind i Huset, og han øste Olie paa hans Hoved og sagde til ham: Saa sagde Herren, Israels Gud: Jeg har salvet dig til Konge over Herrens Folk, over Israel.
And he arose, and went into the house: and he poured the oil upon his head, and said to him, Thus says the Lord God of Israel, I have anointed you to be king over the people of the Lord, even over Israel.
7 Og du skal slaa Akabs, din Herres, Hus, og jeg vil hævne mine Tjeneres, Profeternes, Blod og alle Herrens Tjeneres Blod paa Jesabel.
And you shall utterly destroy the house of Achaab your master from before me, and shall avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the Lord, at the hand of Jezabel,
8 Og hele Akabs Hus skal omkomme, og jeg vil udrydde af Akabs alt Mandkøn, baade den bundne og den løsladte i Israel.
and at the hand of the whole house of Achaab: and you shall utterly cut off from the house of Achaab every male, and him that is shut up and left in Israel.
9 Og jeg vil gøre Akabs Hus ligesom Jeroboams, Nebats Søns, Hus og som Baesas, Ahias Søns, Hus.
And I will make the house of Achaab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and as the house of Baasa the son of Achia.
10 Og Hundene skulle æde Jesabel paa Jisreels Ager, og ingen skal begrave hende; og han lod Døren op og flyede.
And the dogs shall eat Jezabel in the portion of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her. And he opened the door, and fled.
11 Og der Jehu gik ud til sin Herres Tjenere, sagde man til ham: Staar det sig vel? hvorfor kommer denne gale Mand til dig? Og han sagde til dem: I kende Manden og hans Tanke.
And Ju went forth to the servants of his lord, and they said to him, [Is] all well? Why came this mad fellow in to you? And he said to them, You know the man, and his communication.
12 Og de sagde: Det er falsk! giv os det dog til Kende; og han sagde: Saa og saa talte han til mig og sagde: Saa sagde Herren: Jeg har salvet dig til Konge over Israel.
And they said, [It is] wrong: tell us now. And Ju said to them, Thus and thus spoke he to me, saying, —and he said, Thus says the Lord, I have anointed you to be king over Israel.
13 Da skyndte de sig, og de toge hver sine Klæder og lagde under ham paa det øverste af Trapperne, og de blæste i Trompeten, og de sagde: Jehu er Konge.
And when they heard it, they hasted, and took every man his garment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew with the trumpet, and said, Ju is king.
14 Saa gjorde Jehu, en Søn af Josafat, Nimsis Søn, et Forbund imod Joram; og Joram laa for Ramoth i Gilead, han og al Israel, imod Hasael, Kongen af Syrien.
So Ju the son of Josaphat the son of Namessi conspired against Joram, and Joram was defending Remmoth Galaad, he and all Israel, because of Azael king of Syria.
15 Men Kong Joram var kommen tilbage for at lade sig læge i Jisreel af de Saar, som Syrerne sloge ham, der han stred imod Hasael, Kongen af Syrien; og Jehu sagde: Dersom det er efter eders Sind, da skal ingen undkomme og slippe ud af Staden for at gaa bort og kundgøre det i Jisreel.
And king Joram had returned to be healed in Jezrael of the wounds which the Syrians had given him, in his war with Azael king of Syria. And Ju said, If your heart is with me, let there not go forth out of the city one fugitive to go and report to Jezrael.
16 Da red Jehu hen og drog til Jisreel, fordi Joram laa der; og Ahasia, Judas Konge, var kommen ned at besøge Joram.
And Ju rode and advanced, and came down to Jezrael; for Joram king of Israel was getting healed in Jezrael of the arrow-wounds wherewith the Syrians [had] wounded him in Rammath in the war with Azael king of Syria; for he [was] strong and a mighty man: and Ochozias king of Juda was come down to see Joram.
17 Og Skildvagten stod paa Taarnet i Jisreel og saa Jehus Hob, der han kom, og han sagde: Jeg ser en Hob; da sagde Joram: Tag en Rytter og send dem i Møde, og han skal sige: Er der Fred?
And there went up a watchman upon the tower of Jezrael, and saw the dust [made by] Ju as he approached; and he said, I see dust. And Joram said, Take a horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, Peace.
18 Og Rytteren drog ham i Møde og sagde: Saa siger Kongen: Er der Fred? Og Jehu sagde: Hvad har du med Freden at gøre? vend dig omkring og følg mig; og Skildvagten kundgjorde det og sagde: Budet kom til dem og kommer ikke tilbage.
And there went a horseman to meet them, and said, Thus says the king, Peace. And Ju said, What have you to do with peace? turn behind me. And the watchman reported, saying, The messenger came up to them, and has not returned.
19 Da sendte han en anden Rytter; der han kom til dem, da sagde han: Saa sagde Kongen: Er der Fred? Og Jehu sagde: Hvad har du med Freden at gøre? vend dig omkring og følg mig!
And he sent another horseman, and he came to him, and said, Thus says the king, Peace. And Ju said, What have you to do with peace? turn behind me.
20 Og Skildvagten kundgjorde det og sagde: Han kom til dem og kommer ikke tilbage, og det er en Fart ligesom Jehus, Nimsis Søns, Fart; thi han farer af Sted, som han var gal.
And the watchman reported, saying, He came up to them, and has not returned: and the driver drives Ju the son of Namessi, for it is with furious [haste].
21 Da sagde Joram: Spænd for, og man spændte for hans Vogn; og de droge ud, Joram, Israels Konge, og Ahasia, Judas Konge, hver paa sin Vogn, og de droge ud Jehu i Møde, og de traf ham paa Jisreeliteren Naboths Ager.
And Joram said, Make ready. And one made ready the chariot: and Joram the king of Israel went forth, and Ochozias king of Juda, each in his chariot, and they went to meet Ju, and found him in the portion of Nabuthai the Jezraelite.
22 Og det skete, der Joram saa Jehu, da sagde han: Jehu, er der Fred? Og han sagde: Hvad Fred? medens din Moder Jesabels Horerier og hendes Trolddomskunster ere saa mange!
And it came to pass when Joram saw Ju, that he said, [Is it] peace, Ju? And Ju said, How [can it be] peace? as yet [there are] the whoredoms of your mother Jezabel, and her abundant witchcrafts.
23 Da vendte Joram om og flyede og sagde til Ahasia: Det er Forræderi, Ahasia!
And Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ochozias, Treachery, Ochozias.
24 Men Jehu greb med fuld Magt fat paa Buen og skød Joram imellem hans Arme, at Pilen for ud af hans Hjerte, og han segnede ned i sin Vogn.
And Ju bent his bow with his full strength, and struck Joram between his arms, and his arrow went out at his heart, and he bowed upon his knees.
25 Og han sagde til sin Høvedsmand Bidekar: Tag ham op og kast ham paa Jisreeliteren Naboths Ager; thi kom i Hu, der jeg og du rede sammen efter hans Fader Akab, at Herren udtalte denne Spaadom over ham:
And [Ju] said to Badecar his chief officer, Cast him into the portion of ground of Nabuthai the Jezraelite, for I and you remember, riding [as we were] on chariots after Achaab his father, that the Lord took up this burden against him, [saying],
26 Mon jeg ikke i Gaar saa Naboths Blod og hans Sønners Blod, siger Herren, og skal betale dig paa den Ager? siger Herren. Saa tag ham nu op og kast ham paa Ageren efter Herrens Ord!
Surely, I have seen yesterday the blood of Nabuthai, and the blood of his sons, says the Lord; and I will recompense him in this portion, says the Lord. Now then, I pray you, take him up and cast him into the portion, according to the word of the Lord.
27 Der Ahasia, Judas Konge, saa det, da flyede han ad Vejen til Havehuset; og Jehu forfulgte ham og sagde: Slaar ogsaa ham paa Vognen! Dette skete ved Opgangen til Gur, der ligger ved Jibleam; og han flyede til Megiddo og døde der.
And Ochozias king of Juda saw [it], and fled by the way of Baethgan. And Ju pursued after him, and said, [Slay] him also. And one struck him in the chariot at the going up of Gai, which is Jeblaam: and he fled to Mageddo, and died there.
28 Og hans Tjenere lode ham føre til Jerusalem og begravede ham i hans Grav hos hans Fædre i Davids Stad.
And his servants put him on a chariot, and brought him to Jerusalem, and they buried him in his sepulchre in the city of David.
29 Og i Jorams, Akabs Søns, ellevte Aar, var Ahasia bleven Konge over Juda.
And in the eleventh year of Joram king of Israel, Ochozias began to reign over Juda.
30 Og Jehu kom til Jisreel; og Jesabel hørte det og satte Sminke paa sine Øjne og smykkede sit Hoved og saa ud igennem Vinduet.
And Ju came to Jezrael; and Jezabel heard [of it], and coloured her eyes, and adorned her head, and looked through the window.
31 Og der Jehu kom i Porten, da sagde hun: Er der Fred, du Simri, som slog sin Herre ihjel?
And Ju entered into the city; and she said, Had Zambri, the murderer of his master, peace?
32 Og han løftede sit Ansigt op til Vinduet og sagde: Hvo er med mig, hvo? Da saa to eller tre Hofbetjente ud til ham.
And he lifted up his face towards the window, and saw her, and said, Who are you? Come down with me. And two eunuchs looked down towards him.
33 Og han sagde: Styrter hende ned! og de styrtede hende ned, og af hendes Blod overstænkedes Væggen og Hestene, og man søndertraadte hende.
And he said, Throw her [down]. And they threw her [down]; and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and they trampled on her.
34 Og der han var kommen ind og havde ædt og drukket, da sagde han: Kære, ser efter denne forbandede og begraver hende, thi hun er en Konges Datter.
And [Ju] went in and ate and drank, and said, Look now, after this cursed woman, and bury her, for she is a king's daughter.
35 Og der de gik hen at begrave hende, da fandt de intet af hende uden Pandeskallen og Fødderne og det flade af Hænderne.
And they went to bury her; but they found nothing of her but the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands.
36 Da kom de igen og gave ham det til Kende, og han sagde: Det er det Herrens Ord, som han talte ved sin Tjener Thisbiteren Elias og sagde: Hundene skulle æde Jesabels Kød paa Jisreels Ager.
And they returned and told him. And he said, [It is] the word of the Lord, which he spoke by the hand of Eliu the Thesbite, saying, In the portion of Jezrael shall the dogs eat the flesh of Jezabel.
37 Og Jesabels døde Krop skal være som Møg paa Marken paa Jisreels Ager, saa at de ikke skulle kunne sige: dette er Jesabel.
And the carcass of Jezabel shall be as dung on the face of the field in the portion of Jezrael, so that they shall not say, [This is] Jezabel.
